[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

In Emacs 24.3, I can put the *Messages* and *scratch* buffers side by side,
call eval-last-sexp on message calls in *scratch*, and see the message
automatically appear in *Messages*.

Using Emacs from trunk, *Messages* is not updated with the message until I
either "C-x o" to it or cause some other message to appear (such as "End of
buffer" message).

Could you show a precise recipe for reproducing this, starting with
"emacs -Q"?  I tried to reproduce with today's trunk, but couldn't.
Perhaps I don't understand what you mean by "side by side" or don't
invoke eval-last-sexp as you do.

Does the problem depend on the frame/window size?  Does it appear in
"emacs -nw" as well as in GUI sessions?  And what OS is that?

Thanks.

Current trunk, GNU/Linux, Lucid toolkit:
emacs -Q
C-x 3
C-h e

In scratch, enter "1" and press C-x C-e. No "1" appears in Messages.
Press C-x o to select Messages. Now "1" appears.

Dunno.

Yes.

RHEL6.

Looking further, there are a couple circumstances where it won't reproduce:
   • There needs to be newlines after the message call to reproduce
   • eval-last-sexp needs to be invoked through a local keymap

Let ~/emacs-local-key.el contain:
   (local-set-key (kbd "<f5>") 'eval-last-sexp)
Or you can do so in an emacs-lisp-mode-hook.

Steps:
   • Run: ./src/emacs -Q --load ~/emacs-local-key.el
   • C-x 3
   • M-x buffer-menu
   • Select *Messages* (now left window is *Messages* right is *scratch*)
   • C-x o
   • Input: (message "a")
   • Enter a couple times so as there are new lines after the message call
   • Move point to after the close paren above
   • Use f5 to eval-last-sexp, no change in *Messages*
   • C-x o
   • Now all the "a" messages appear

I tried sizing the window to the left and to the right, still can reproduce.

Using emacs -nw I can reproduce it.

I'm on RHEL 5 OS.

Thanks.  This is now fixed in trunk revision 112612.

Thanks.  I fixed this a few minutes ago.
